Book 2: MortalityChapter 3: WarThe Light wept for its creation. Despite its enjoyment of chaos, it still wanted its people to prosper, and chaos was not helping achieve these ends. So, the Light created the Fruits of Seeing. Unexpectedly, though in actuality it should have been expected, this brought further conflict to the Spectres, who had earlier conflicts beginning to cool. On one side, Spectres were put to death for devouring the Fruit, while on the other, Spectres were put to death for refusing to eat the Fruit. These sides both waged many conflicts against each other, each side possessing their own religious ideals. On the side that refused to eat the Fruit, the Orthodox, they believed that these fruits were a test by the Light, and those who partook of them must be executed for failing this test. The other side, the Adaptionists, belived that the Fruits were a gift by their god to achieve greater levels of power, and those who did not partake were committing blasphemy against the Light and must be exterminated. Both sides possessed roughly forty-five percent of the Spectres. The remaining ten percent were different. They believed that the Fruit was sent as a gift by Havoc to bring about enlightenment, but it was up to the will of the individual to decide whether or not to partake of the Fruit. Even so, they believed that the Fruit was not to be eaten conspicuously, all deciding to only eat enough that it smoothed over the chaos boiling inside them, allowing them to not consider warfare at the slightest jostle, but enough that they were still great warriors when they decided to be. Discoveries were still chaotic with them, but they could also be directed towards specific categories, goals, or items, if they desired to. When the Na Draoithe were created by An Draoi, near all of them came to the ten percent, others going to take control of nations following either of the larger religious paths. While the ten percent, also known as the Recreationists, did have stability and less conflicts for a time, when they were discovered, they were beset upon by both of the sides. While they did fight well and hard, it was evident they were beginning to lose the fight, accelerated by the gift of magic upon near all races by the Trickster, which had caused some minor jealousy and anger among the various races towards An Draoi...
One day, at the grand altar of the Light, a single Spectre, by the name of Kaos entered and performed the Ritual of Calling. When the Light took notice of this, the Spectre gave a plea, We are falling, send us a champion to save us...
When the Luminox first heard the Unseen, they were afraid that one had finally discovered them and they would be destroyed. They had already been burdened with the souls of mortals by Aeterne and changed to be unable to die and find peace from their fearful existence by Thuellos. But this god, rather than destroying them for their sentience, embraced them, helping them by allowing them to hide ever better from the other gods and be able to see areas of the spectrum that had been carefully hidden by the Unseen. For this, they loved the Unseen greatly, for rather than destruction or painful change, it had given them all a better life than they ever had before...
When the Creator acted, its actions were more subtle this time. It created a multitude of unseen rifts in reality that could transport those who used them across vast distances at a time. While the Chosen knew of these, they did not yet know how to use them, though sometimes this was due to necessitating caution, such as upon Discord, where wars were happening. They would eventually become working, and with them a new age would begin...
Soon before the first alliance was formed, the Caretaker created the first godly artifact in the universe, the Staff of Forests. It's abilities would not be as great for a god, but in the hands of a moral it was gifted to, it could be potent. The staff had two powers. First, it was linked to the creations of the Caretaker, allowing them to be reshaped by the staff if they were within a half mile radius of the wielder. Second, if a mortal wielder of the staff fell or it left the Caretaker's hands without it having been gifted to a mortal, then the staff would quickly return to the Caretaker...
